Australian Rules star Mark O’Connor has revealed that he would have been available to line out for Kerry in the rest of the Championship – if Peter Keane’s men hadn’t been knocked out in the last seconds by Cork in the Munster semi-final in early November.

The 23-year-old Dingle man, speaking on Radio Kerry’s Terrace Talk programme, confirmed that he had been in contact with the Kingdom manager over the previous months to suss out the possibilities of being available for the squad, and that his club, the Geelong Cats, had given permission for him to line out in the green and gold.
